Su Luo played the role of a deaf-mute, so she continued to bask in the sun leisurely, while others ran to open the door.
Sure enough, a young boy, no more than ten years old, dressed in servant's clothes, ran to open the door.
However--
Before he could open the door, it was kicked in from outside.
The young boy was almost knocked away.
The person in the lead was none other than Jin Xi, who had chased Su Luo through thick and thin before.
Jin Xi brought a lot of people with him, the most obvious of whom was the military advisor walking beside him.
The military advisor was dressed in a white robe, with a calm gaze and a confident smile on his lips.
“You are—”
The young boy was a little frightened, and his voice was trembling.
"City Lord's Mansion Jinxi, search for the fugitive, come, search!"
Special matters should be handled specially.
Jin Xi didn't say any extra words. He brought people in to search for people!
The Black Robe Guest's father is in charge, but as for Su Luo... if the news gets out, Su Luo must die!
The commotion in the garden was so loud that the Jiang family soon found out.
The head of the Jiang family is not at home, and Mrs. Jiang is in charge of the overall situation.
Madam Jiang frowned and looked at Jin Xi. Jin Xi said directly, "Madam Jiang, Lord Jiang and my father are working together to apprehend Yao Fan. One of the female fugitives escaped, and we saw her run into the Jiang family, so—"
Mrs. Jiang frowned!
What's the point of searching for a wanted criminal? How could you search for a wanted criminal like this? The Young City Lord was being completely disrespectful.
Mrs. Jiang frowned: "It is impossible for the Jiang family to harbor criminals."
Jin Xi: "I, the Young City Lord, know that the Jiang family would never do such a thing. So, please, Madam Jiang, let the Jiang family go and let our people from the City Lord's Mansion go in and search."
Mrs. Jiang's face looked unhappy because Jin Xi acted as if he was ransacking the house.
"You can search the outer courtyard freely, but there are so many women in the inner courtyard that it's not very convenient."
Mrs. Jiang is not an ordinary person. She comes from the Jiang family in the imperial capital.
The Jiang family is also a well-known family in the imperial capital, which is not comparable to the Jin family, so Mrs. Jiang's pride is engraved in her bones.
Jin Xi's men rushed in quickly and searched the outer courtyard frantically!
And all this happened right under Su Luo's nose.
The conversation between Mrs. Jiang and Jin Xi took place in the pavilion not far from Su Luo.
Therefore, Su Luo heard their conversation clearly.
Of course, Su Luo could see them, and they could naturally see Su Luo as well...
However, this old woman who looks after the garden has been sitting here basking in the sun year after year, and has long become a backdrop, and everyone has become accustomed to it.
Because it was so common, no one noticed her.
This was Su Luo's idea when she first chose this old woman, and sure enough—
She was watching and listening here, but Jin Xi and the others didn't know that the person he was looking for... was right in front of them.
Soon, all the people who went to the outer courtyard to search came back.
The leader of the first team said: "Reporting to the young city lord, the east courtyard has been searched, but nothing has been found."
The second team leader said: "Reporting to the young city lord, we have searched the west courtyard, but found nothing."
The captain of the third team: "Report to the young city lord..."
…
All four teams completed the search, but after searching the entire outer courtyard, they found nothing—
Jin Xi slapped the marble table with a bang.
Soon, the table shattered into pieces.
Mrs. Jiang's expression changed instantly!
It becomes very ugly.
Jin Xi walked straight in!
Madam Jiang stopped him and asked, "Young City Lord, what do you mean?"
